Time the enemy of Emotionless

Time remains the enemy of Godolphin galloper Emotionless as far as the Caulfield Cup is concerned with the import remaining under light walking duties until a day before next Tuesday's final acceptance payment is due for the $5 million race.

Emotionless will not have been ridden for nine days until his right hind leg can be properly scanned as he is currently in quarantine at Spendthrift Australia Park Werribee and Monday is the earliest time he can be accommodated at the Melbourne Equine Centre for the bone scan.

Trained by Charlie Appleby, Emotionless is guaranteed a Caulfield Cup start if he is fit as he is 13th in line for a run.

He was regarded as one of the top chances for the race before pulling up sore last Saturday following a routine track gallop.

Racing Victoria announced on Friday that Appleby will await results of the scan before announcing whether the entire can be paid-up for as a Caulfield Cup starter.

The final acceptance for the world's richest 2400-metre handicap is due at 10am on Tuesday.
